reading passage
family treasures
1 ill never forget that saturday as long as i live. i mean, sure, i knew this day would come eventually, but i had avoided it for as long as possible. when my best friends jerome and dylan insisted it was time to hang out at my house, i knew the day had finally arrived.
2 usually we hang out at jerome’s or dylan’s house. jerome’s parents work long hours. so at jerome’s house it’s just us guys hanging out in his den and playing video games. jerome calls the den “his castle,” and i believe him, too, because when we’re at his house, we’re left alone to play video games, watch tv, and eat pizza out of the box without any interference from his family.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "boisterous", we analyze the context (though the full paragraph 4 isn't shown, we use the passage's tone of friends hanging out, playing games, etc., which is lively/cheerful. "Boisterous" means noisy, energetic, lively. "Lively" matches this energetic, active vibe. "Cheerful" is more about mood, "unpleasant" and "stormy" are negative (opposite of the passage's positive tone of hanging out). So "lively" is the best fit.

Answer:

A. lively
